    Much to the serious chagrin of some (including us), Lindsay Lohan has been confirmed to play the role of Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime biopic called Liz and Dick—provided she fulfills the requirements of her probation. The film will centre on the tumultuous relationship between the violet-eyed Hollywood princess and her on-again off-again husband of 12 years, Richard Burton.

    Though Lohan might have proved her acting chops in The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday remakes (we’re slightly serious), it’s been a while since we’ve seen her do anything noteworthy. But hey, we’d rather see Lohan in the role than her rumoured competition, Megan Fox. But that’s not saying much? What do you think?

  • SNP’s word of the day: Man-acle

    Word: Man-acle

    Definition: One who makes slaves of men; serial heart-stealer; divorce queen. Okay, I semi-made it up from the word for handcuffs, manacle. P.S. I definitely do not mean ball and chain; gross.

    Hollywood has lost the last of its greats. Elizabeth Taylor, who died this morning at the age of 79, was legendary for many things, amongst them: her unparalleled beauty, her penchant for marriage (Liz was married eight times to seven husbands, twice to Richard Burton) and her uncanny ability to play the tragic boozy, crazy, sexy and vulnerable heroine. In my books, she was as good as its gets. Liz will be remembered for her many iconic roles, including those in Butterfield 8 and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, which she garnered Oscars for. Here’s a look back at my favourite of her roles. If you haven’t seen them… get thee to the movie store right RIGHTNOW! In the meantime, enjoy a bit of a peek into what made this violet-eyed siren one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, starting with my all time favourite, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
